I looked at the RSD Black Friday list earlier today. Of interest were Beefheart 45s and the Velvet Underground 12" of the acetate found at a yard sale a few years back. Not RSD related but I saw Munster is releasing a 7" box set of Detroit Cobras early songs. I'm stoked about that.

You might have mentioned this, but Subsonics are playing at the Cake Shop on Saturday Dec. 8 -- with the Upper Crust!

That's fantastic news...hopefully the Subs will roll through here as well- been 7 or 8 years since they hit Chicagah.
Now John Paul Keith! You're a king...

Cool! Champaign Power Pop. Apparently the Red Lion hosted awesome bands like Cheap Trick and the Ramones but unfortunately helped launch the careers of some of the worst bands ever like Reo Speedwagon and Dan Fogelberg.

tim: are you saying that Ridin the Storm Out isn't a great song? I say that with no sarcasm, love that song.

digging the rave. must confess, never heard of them until this cd reissue of this 1979 concert showed up here. Tim, thanks for the backround!

jljl: nope, just saying that the joint where the Rave record was recorded helped contribute to the noise pollution epidemic. P friggin' U. FYI: Main St in downtown Champaign is also Honorary REO Speedwagon Way.

Joe: I wasn't aware of them either until the re-issue.

REO just played close to Boston last week. 70's bands keep going and going.

The first REO Speedwagon records were cool, and I stuck with them when they changed their name to Starship Speedwagon, but I lost interest after they eventually became just Speedwagon and put out that Beautiful Music album.
YT has videos of them playing Ridin' The Storm Out at a county fair this summer using a slide-whistle for the siren and an extended pan-pipes solo.
